remember Jesus said a perverted generation seeks a sign but none will be given to you however, we are o the group of " these signs shall follow them that believe Mark 16:17-18
these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

The answer to that question is no. One can not have the Holy Spirit in them if they are not saved. The phrase "Baptism in the Holy Spirit " means to have The HS in you and upon you, as Jesus said in John chapters 14, 15, and 16.
This is not about water baptism. This is a question about the Spiritual clothing of the believer by the Holy Spirit.
"proof-texting"?
Or do you really mean Proving my Position with the text used in 1cor chapters 12 through 14? Contextually.
I am not trying to make others agree with me; I just provide the text that supports my understanding.
You are able to do the same YET, but you have not provided one verse that states the gifts of the holy Spirit are not for today and no longer needed because of the canonization of scripture.
Still waiting
You typed this:
"Peter says baptism saved us. 1 Peter 3:21, so, you're not correct. Also, nowhere in the bible does it describe baptism nor its reason as you have. It is an outward expression of nothing, but rather a command that must be obeyed in order to secure our salvation."
If you were not referring to water baptism, then I apologize for my misunderstanding.

I'm sorry that is not correct. Please give me the post when I say this. Dishonesty doesn't help the discussion . I will address what you have posted here
1. "Also, nowhere in the bible does it describe baptism nor its reason as you have. It is an outward expression of nothing, but rather a command that must be obeyed in order to secure our salvation."
